New Liverpool manager Arne Slot has told Sky Sports he wants his players to judge the “risk and reward” of situations better than under predecessor Jurgen Klopp. The Dutchman has already said he wants to implement more of a possession game at Anfield than in recent years, and will get the first chance to showcase that to the home faithful when they face Brentford live on Super Sunday this weekend. Sky Sports pundit and former Liverpool captain Jamie Carragher labelled some of their play from the opening-weekend win at Ipswich as “out of this world”, with Andy Robertson cutting inside…
Liverpool manager Arne Slot has outlined how he can get even more from star forward Mohamed Salah at Anfield. In the early part of their working relationship, the duo have a good rapport. “It’s my firm belief that you don’t improve individuals, you improve the team, and because of that individuals improve,” Liverpool head coach Slot said. “So if Mo and Trent [Alexander-Arnold] or Mo and Conor [Bradley] play better together, or Mo has a better understanding and timing with Dom [Szoboszlai], then the end result is you will say Mo has become better. “But I think it’s about team…
Jamie Carragher has named the Arsenal transfer who would have been ideal for Liverpool this summer amid the wait for the first signing of the Arne Slot and Richard Hughes era. Linked with a move to Anfield, Italian international defender Riccardo Calafiori ended up joining the Gunners from Bologna for a fee of up to $55m (£42m/€50m) including add-ons. But Carragher believes that he could have been an asset for Liverpool with the Reds not having a left-footed center-back. “When I look at what Man City and Arsenal have got, there’s a certain player at both clubs who I think…
Liverpool is right about not wanting to sign players for the sake of it this summer but failing to add some more quality to Arne Slot’s side would be a risk. There are legitimate grounds for concern, albeit work is continuing behind the scenes. While the Dutch head coach is right that he inherited a strong squad from Jurgen Klopp, getting in even just one player before the August 30 transfer deadline could make a substantial difference. Without that, there would be a worry about how long Liverpool could realistically compete on as many fronts as it wants to. As…
Pep Guardiola didn’t hesitate when answering the classic Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard or Paul Scholes debate Guardiola has revealed his ‘favourite’ out of three legendary English midfielders. If you grew up watching the Premier League, the chances are that at some point you’ve debated who was the better player out of Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and Paul Scholes. The three greatest English midfielders of their generation hold legendary status at their former clubs, but could never quite make it work when playing together when playing for the national side. Scholes was a key member of United’s legendary Class of ’92…
Latest Liverpool injury news as Arne Slot prepares for his first Premier League game as Reds head coach at Anfield against Brentford Liverpool are back in Premier League action on Sunday as they take on Burnley at Anfield. The first home match of the season sees a possible return to Merseyside for Fabio Carvalho and Sepp van den Berg who only made the switch to West London, this month. New head coach Arne Slot will be in the dugout for his first competitive game in L4, after making his bow in the pre-season friendly double-header against Sevilla and Las Palmas.…
Arne Slot is making his mark at Liverpool by offloading some of the squad members who were previously favored by Jurgen Klopp. Slot, yet to bring in his own signings, has shown decisiveness in moving on various team members, ranging from seasoned professionals to promising young talents once seen as future mainstays. This week, Bobby Clark, a hero of Liverpool’s injury-ravaged triumph over Chelsea in the previous Carabao Cup final and lauded by Klopp for his standout displays, sealed a switch to RB Salzburg under Klopp’s old number two, Pep Lijnders. Fabio Carvalho and Sepp van den Berg will link…
Arne Slot clinched victory over Erik ten Hag in their first meeting in English football – and get revenge after a backhanded compliment from the Manchester United manager. Liverpool are unbeaten in preseason, defeating Real Betis and Arsenal before securing a 3-0 win over Manchester United at Williams-Brice Stadium. Just 10 minutes into the contest, Fabio Carvalho opened the scoring before Curtis Jones and Konstantinos Tsimikas sealed the resounding victory. While pre-season matches are primarily for fitness and tactical experimentation, the animosity between Slot and Ten Hag added to the historic rivalry between the two clubs. Speaking in his pre-match…
Liverpool’s transfer ethos is pretty admirable on paper: sporting director Richard Hughes will only target players the club have identified as clear and genuine improvements on the existing options. The problems arise when such players reject a move to Anfield — Martin Zubimendi became the latest to do so, leaving the Reds with a dilemma. By all accounts, Liverpool intends to stick to the plan, which in this case means not pursuing an alternative holding midfielder. Zubimendi was identified as the one who could really elevate the team under the style Arne Slot is bringing in, and Hughes does not…
Dwight Yorke believes Erik ten Hag could be just two games away from the sack despite signing a new contract at Manchester United over the summer. The Dutchman was handed a two-year extension to his previous deal after winning the FA Cup at the end of last season. United were linked with a host of managerial candidates, including the likes of Gareth Southgate and Mauricio Pochettino, but eventually decided to stick with Ten Hag. The Red Devils will be hoping for the 54-year-old to repay their faith by leading them back into the Premier League’s top four this season. Yorke,…
